Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Aaron Judge dealing with another rib injury and what it could mean for the Yankees moving forward. The discussion starts with the similarity to Judge’s 2020 diagnosis and quickly turns into a bigger question about whether his all out style in right field is becoming too risky.
The guys debate if the Yankees should consider moving Judge to designated hitter, asking him to play less aggressively, or simply accepting the danger that comes with his greatness. They also compare the challenge to football situations where elite athletes are told to protect themselves, making the case that Judge’s bat may now be too valuable to keep exposing him to collisions and dives.
